Biomass Energy
Technology Expert & Energy Economist
Roland Siemons (1958) studied engineering at the University of Twente (the Netherlands). He obtained his doctoral degree at the Faculty of
Economics and Econometrics, University of Amsterdam. He has been working for more than 15 years with
the Biomass Technology Group (BTG) on biomass fuelled energy conversion
technologies. His activities have included R&D, project appraisal and
project implementation, for applications both in Europe and in developing countries.
The foundations
of the analysis framework that has been developed in the thesis were laid
while working on numerous assignments in SE-Asia and Africa. In these assignments Roland Siemons
participated in multi-disciplinary project teams, involving a number of
clients: DGIS (Dutch Development Cooperation), EC, FAO, UNIDO, and the World
Bank. Further elaboration took place during a sabbatical leave, and was
supervised by Prof. dr. C.J. Jepma (University of Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics and Econometrics) and Prof.
dr. ir. W.P.M. van Swaaij
(University of Twente, Faculty of Chemical Technology).
